Vikings, Twins or G. football? Most dissapointing has got to be 1st half Vikings.
I'd say Twins. They were supposed to be playoff good and they are the 2nd worst team in MLB.
Vikings looked like a 4 win team and may have a hard time getting 2. Hopefully that means Andrew Luck.
Gophers looked like a 2 win team, and that appears out of reach now.
So while all 3 are underperforming, the Twins did the most.
None are that fun to watch right now. I am watching the Lynx however who are quite good. Ladies Volleyball is also a top team again this year although they weren't supposed to be...
I'm loving the way the Vikings are playing in the 2nd half of games this year. If they keep it up maybe that stadium will never make it through legislation.
Why? Why are people so intent on the Vikings being gone? Is it not possible for you to think that both the Gophers and the Vikings can succeed here? Maybe some Vikings fans would care about the Gophers if the Gophers gave them a reason to. Most hardcore Vikings fans only became that way in 98.

Some Gopher fans have the mistaken belief that, if the Vikings were out of the picture, a hundred thousand Minnesotan's would line up to buy scalped tickets for a 2-10 Gopher squad. What really would happen is the state would have even less football fans and our stadium would still be half empty. By all means though, believe what you will.
Some Gopher fans have the mistaken belief that the presence of an NFL team has no effect on the college team playing in the same media market. They think that all the Gophers have to do is win games. Not only do they ignore the fact that the presence of the NFL team hurts the Gophers ability to win more games, but when the Gophers actually have winning teams they ignore the fact that there has been very little change in attendance. Moreover they ignore scenarios like 10/18/2003, when a one-loss Gopher team who controlled its own destiny in the big ten and rose bowl race drew 35,000 fans for a home game against michigan state.
I don't think most hardcore Vikings fans will all of a sudden become big Gophers fans if they left.

Formo, I feel for you. The one non-Minnesota team in your signature is the lowly Cubs. You really are a glutton for punishment!
The Gophers just lost to NDSU and New Mexico State, the Badgers are looking like they have a shot at the national championship game. The Vikings are 0-3, the Packers are 3-0 and the defending Super Bowl champs. The Twins season crashed and burned, the Brewers just clinched their division.
Life sucks right now.
I'm just praying for a magical season from Tubby's BBall team.
Wisconsin has yet to play a legitimate opponent. I'd slow down a bit on championship talk just yet.
And I don't see them beating Bama.
